Just strip the wires and hook 'em up! Your 'wall wart' should do you fine. However, should you ever find you push its limits - which is easier to do than you might think if you start doing a yard with tortii, using LEDs in control panels, and certainly if you start powering other 12v stuff with it... I am a great fan of this little power supply: <A href="http://www.circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/8238">http://www.circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/8238</A> At $20, it's certainly more than a wallwart. But it has 2amps output and you can modify the voltage. I like to be able to turn the voltage DOWN from 12v which makes the tortoise run even slower and quieter. I rather like to get my "throw" time down to 2-3 seconds rather than the standard 1 second. I have ~100 tortoise machines and about 300 bicolor LEDs on the control panels for them (I use multiple toggles to control some of them from various locations, thus the "extra" LEDs). I only recently had to get a second one of these to keep up. Best of luck! Kris
